✨ Congratulating our 2025 Prize Lecture Recipients ✨ 2025 Hodgkin-Huxley Prize Lecture: NataliaTrayanova, Professor of Medicine Johns Hopkins University, Murray B. Sachs Professorship Johns Hopkins BME, & is the first woman to hold an endowed professorship at Whiting School of Engineering Johns Hopkins University

Grateful and excited to embark on this new project (one of 34 grants) with Moritoshi Sato (Japan) and Mike Colman Michael Colman (UK) - Optogenetic control of organelle “chatter” and effects on calcium dynamics in human cardiomyocytes

We have a new preprint on optical patterning of Nodal signaling in zebrafish embryos: using light to sculpt embryonic development! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Beautiful work led by Nathan Lord and Harry McNamara

Jim Simons 1938-2024. "I did a lot of math. I made a lot of money, and I gave almost all of it away. That's the story of my life." And what a life. nytimes.com/2024/05/10/bus…

Meet MagLOV: an engineered protein that responds STRONGLY to magnetic fields. This is a fluorescence timelapse of MagLOV in E. coli. We're waving a (small) magnet under the plate. Can you tell where the magnet is? Want some? It's on Addgene now! addgene.org/219957/

Excited to share the last two publications from my PhD! We explore and discuss iPSC-CM EPhys heterogeneity in manual and automated patch studies, with an eye towards experimental design and safety pharmacology. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
